Alternative Grooms Wear Pieces

By Michaela Keating

Looking
fabulous on your wedding day is one of the most important things for all
grooms. We have come up with some ideas to make sure you look more dapper than
ever walking down that aisle!
Check shirt A
check shirt may be a staple piece of clothing for some men on their days off
work, but these old reliable are evolving into one of the boho wedding must
haves for men this season. Soft nudes and light earthy tones are what the boho
theme is all about, so what could be more fitting than a beige and white check
shirt for the groom or grooms to tie in with the theme? With their variety of
colours and patterns, a check shirt is something to be considered for the non
traditional couple. Still not sold? Think the sexy lumberjack and youll be running
down the aisle to see your man!

Quirky pocket squares Pocket squares are always a popular
way to spruce a mans suit but why not think outside the box and find an
original pocket square to make yourselves stand out. Have the wedding date
embroidered on to the right hand corner or choose a print with patterns of your
pet so they can be there in spirit. The possibilities are endless!
Tweed It
may not be every mans fabric of choice for a wedding suit but tweed is a major
trend this season for guys that are tying the knot. Brown toned tweed is the
perfect way to introduce autumn winter elements into the grooms look. If
a full tweed suit is a little too much to handle, why not add slight touches,
like the waist coat of a three-piece or in a pocket square.

Braces Autumn is one of two seasons where we can dare
to risk leaving off an extra layer on account of the weather. With the busy
flow to a wedding day, its best to feel cool and collected and for a groom or
both grooms, saying I do minus a suit jacket is the best thing for it. Braces
are a long time friend of the suit and if leaving the jacket behind, a good set
of braces will do just the trick in keeping the groom formal yet comfortable on
the day. Tie the colour in with the theme or let each groom use this as an
opportunity to express his own personal style when choosing the colour or
pattern.
